The cultivation and influence of national identity are not overnight, and you should start with a community that understands your neighborhood and identify with your own.In this regard, our primary and secondary schools seem to have many jobs to do.
Human dwelling is the characteristics of human beings, which constitutes a social group by group dwellings. Neighborhood relations are very important."Neighborhood" refers to neighbors or people living in the same community as themselves.In the early days, Chinese people who came to Singapore in the early south would choose to live in the same community, which is based on a established psychology of "far -relatives better than neighbors".
Nowadays, we can often see a proprietary term based on "neighborhood" as attributive, such as the "Neighborhood Festival" hosted by the Singapore Neighborhood Enterprise Center, and the "neighborhood tourism" jointly organized by the central and joint morning newspapers.The "Social Aids Neighborhood Shopping Vouchers" (formerly known as "Social Life Subsidy Course") and so on.However, if you ask your friends around, the specific concept of the word "neighbor" may still stay in the blurred outline stage.
geographical concepts containing multiple functions
Singapore's urban construction and new town planning brings a geographical space concept of community facilities such as NeighbourHood, such as NeighbourHood.The new government's housing area has formed a new town, including Hongmao Bridge in the central region, Yishun and Woodlands in the north, Twaibini, Brazil, and Bangei in the east, Jinwentai, Jurong in the west.
Each house in each neighborhood of Xinzhen is sorted in large -name numbers, for example: the group number of the first neighborhood of Tamletni began with "1", starting from the 101st and 102nd, and the 2nd of Tamletni No. 2The group number of the neighborhood began with "2", starting from 201 and 202, and so on.
The streets in each new town are also named after the serial number and division of different neighbors.The streets of the house began on Yishun 21 Street, Yishun 22nd Street, and so on.
The scale of each new town is large and small. The large -scale new town is like Yishun. There are nine neighbors. Yishunzhong District is located in the 9th neighborhood, surrounded by eight other neighbors.Seven neighbors, the middle of the Hongmao Bridge is located in the seventh neighbor, surrounded by six other neighbors.The small new town is like Bishan, with only three neighbors, including Bishan No. 1 neighbor, Bishan No. 2 neighborhood, and Bishan 5th neighbor;The first neighbor of the storage pool road, the 6th neighborhood of the Belo storage pool road, and the 7th neighborhood of the Heilo storage pool road.
The people use food as a heaven, and most of the houses are in the neighborhood of the housing area.For example, the Pasar and hawkers center in the 4th neighbor of Hongmao Bridge are located in the 409th, and the Pasar and hawker center in the 6th neighbor of Hongmao Bridge is located in the 628th.Some neighbors have more than one Pasar and hawker centers due to the large distribution surface. For example, the Pasar and hawkers centers in the 5th neighbor of Bobei North are located in 511 and 538.
The relatively mature group and town, such as Basa Kiln, Malin Benlie, Queen Town, Bobo, etc. Although the neighborhood distinction method is not purely based on the above -mentioned house number, it belongs to the HDB house in the same area.The group is attributed to the same neighborhood, and this standard has basically not changed.For example, the group groups of the 4th road and 4th streets themselves are a neighbor. The Bagar and hawker center in the neighborhood is located at the center of Fengshan, Bobei.
In addition, there are NeighbourHood School, which provides the convenience of children in the area near school.Essence
In addition to the police station, in 1983, the Singapore Police Force founded NeighbourHood Police Post.The neighborhood police post system assisted the police to better crack down on crimes and use community resources to prevent and investigate crimes.The Daba kiln was the first satellite town to set up a neighborhood police post.
In order to better cope with the changing population and progressive technology, as well as more effective distribution of police resources, and put more police forces into the prevention of crimes, in 1997, the police promoted the neighborhood police post to neighborhood police officers to neighborhood police officers.System, the latter's English name remains unchanged.The Neighborhood Police Department of Queen Emperor Town is the first neighborhood police station in Singapore.At present, there are 36 neighborhood police stations in Singapore, including six privileges that have been closed for one year from January 2022 to January 2023: Gornania Yi, Huangpu, Shilonggang Garden, Caishi, Ganbang Wumei and Rujie.The neighborhood police station is a one -stop police center. This effective system has made Singapore one of the countries with the lowest crime rate in the world for many years.
Re -understanding of the Commercial Federation and hawkers associations
As mentioned earlier, the geographical space function in the neighborhood is living and doing business.Where there are residents, there is a resident committee to safeguard the collective interests of the residents. Similarly, there are vendors who need to be associated with vendors to safeguard the collective interests of vendors.exist.
The Commercial Federation and the hawker associations with strong local colors belong to the neighborhood organizations.Commercial Federation, Tanni N4 Store and hawker federation."N1" is the abbreviation of "NeighborHood 1" (1st neighbor), and "N2" is the abbreviation of the second neighbor, and so on.From the names of their community, their neighbors and the communities they serve are clear at a glance.
Some neighborhoods are separated from the hawker association, for example: the Singapore Burlo Center Commercial Federation, the Bagari Hirait of Bagari, which belongs to the Singapore Berlo North, which belongs to the 2nd neighborhood of Bello;The second neighbor's Yulong East 24th Street Commercial Federation and Yulong East (Da brand 254) Pasar hawker association.However, some are one of the two in neighborhood stores and Bagar and hawkers.Association.
I once said in the neighboring vendor as part of the economic defense component (November 22, 2019 Lianhe Zaobao · Speech): "It is just to take care of the interests of merchants, but in the process of promoting the activity, it will also benefit the communities of their affiliated and jointly build a warm neighbor with grass -roots organizations. "Today, many commercial federations and hawkers associations are still reflected in various channels through various channels to reflect this kind of harmonious neighborhood neighborhood neighborhood.Spirit.For example, in January 2022, the Duan Duan and the Store Friendship Association on the Wenqing Road gave the annual goods with a total value of more than 4,300 yuan to the residents in the area.In December, the hawker association of 31st Street Stores in Yuhua District presented 200 Yuhua gift vouchers to the residents in the area. Each electronic gift voucher value was 10 yuan, and the total value was 2,000 yuan.Similar good deeds are endless.
On July 16 of the same year, the Hougang Village Commercial Federation and the ethnic group and the religious mutual trust circle jointly organized the Harmony Day of the Natsna, and the former was responsible for the duties of social organizations.On December 31st, the Jinwen Tai Citizen Consultation Committee held a New Year's Eve party at the Jinwentai Center.
According to it, the Yangtong Port Commercial Federation, which was established in May 2021, created the purpose of the constructive purpose besides the neighborhood merchants in the unity area to win the greatest benefit for neighboring companies.In addition to strengthening the communication with the cities and councils, "through hosting activities that are beneficial to merchants and residents to promote the development of harmony and business in the district", it is also one of the creative purpose stated by the association.
I think the cultivation and influence of national identity are not overnightThe merits should start with the neighborhood and the community that they belong to.In this regard, our primary and secondary schools seem to have many jobs to do.
